In every brewery I've been to that has these pours, they adjust the price accordingly and you're not getting ripped off anymore than buying a regular pint (price per actual ml of beer poured is approx. the same). I've never heard somebody in an actual brewery I've been to say that foam was better than beer, but there are a lot of reasons for these different pilsner pours.

If you're curious, I can ask my husband (a brewer) what the purpose of these pours is.

The purpose of these pours is to tell your customers in no uncertain terms that they're not fuckin welcome. I'm firmly with the old bastard on this one, that pour is fuckin offensive. And it makes your beer taste like shit.

The pours we are talking about have nothing to do with the prank in the video, that's just them fucking with an old man. The Czech-style foam pours come in three types:

Hladinka (smooth): 1/3 foam, 2/3 beer

Šnyt (split): half-half to two-thirds foam

Mliko (milk): all foam

The Czechs invented that way of pouring their beer and a special tap for doing so, it's a tradition, just like the Germans and English have their own traditions around their local styles.

It's literally a centuries-old tradition, so clearly there have been huge amounts of people over many, many years who don't think it makes the beer taste like shit. This is not a new thing. I've also had it and it's pretty fuckin good if you're not already drinking shit beer.

Also, wtf? Nobody is earnestly giving people these pours without them explicitly ordering them, so idk what you're fuckin on about saying it makes people feel unwelcome. If you don't fucking want one, don't fucking order one.

Those bartenders from centuries ago must have have had world class salesmanship skills to get an entire culture to go along with their cost saving bullshit.

Guessing your go to is bud light in a freezer chilled shaker pint filled to the brim lol

[–] edible_funk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago

I personally do not but you clearly know of my people.

Thank you, that would be great to know. Had no idea they charged differently. There's obviously history behind it.

Was also told by a friend that in some countries there are glass pour-lines below the lip of the glass. They are required to fill beer to the line, but different glasses have different levels for amount of foam.

Around us, there are no such rules. In some breweries you get 1cm, in other 3-4cm of foam, all for the same price.

Yeah it's always a shame when you go to an establishment and the beer is clearly an afterthought. My husband has ruined certain places for me because he will always notice when the draft lines aren't clean or when he can taste diacetyl in the beer (an off-taste some beers get that smells/tastes like buttered popcorn flavouring).

Does make me very appreciative of places where they are clearly knowledgeable and care, though!
